still no apparent motive




Ariz. (AP) — It's a crime that police officers in a small eastern Arizona community can hardly fathom yet have to deal with: an 8-year-old charged in the fatal shootings of his father and another man.

"Who would think an 8-year-old kid could kill two adults?" said St. Johns Police Chief Roy Melnick Friday.

The crime that unfolded Wednesday evening sent shock waves through St. Johns, a community of about 4,000 people northeast of Phoenix. The boy had no disciplinary record at school, and there was no indication he had any problems at home, prosecutors said.

"It was such a tragedy," said the boy's defense attorney, Benjamin Brewer. "You have two people dead; you have an 8-year-old in jail. It tugs at the heart strings. It's a shocker, no doubt about it."

On Friday, a judge determined there was probable cause to show that the boy fatally shot his father, Vincent Romero, 29, and Timothy Romans, 39, of San Carlos with a .22-caliber rifle. The boy faces two counts of premeditated murder.

Melnick said officers arrived at Romero's home within minutes of the shooting Wednesday. They found one victim just outside the front door and the other dead in an upstairs room.

Romans had been renting a room at the Romero house, prosecutors said. The two men were employees with a construction company that had a contract to do work at the Salt River Project power plant near St. Johns, which is about 170 miles northeast of Phoenix.

The boy had went to a neighbor's house and said he "believed that his father was dead," said Apache County attor

huh, first sentence didnt go up...



they said there was no apparent motive yet

I agree with Speedy no way could a 8 yr old do this..

I think someone is pinning it on his to get away with murder..

The 8 yr old kid will only be in jail till he is oprobley 18 the relese but by then he will be a bad egg..

yeah i heard about this and i agree with blogger above that an 8 year old doesn't even understnd motive...heck the kids still watches disney for jeepers sake...theres a lot more to this story than they are telling us...i could never put an 8 year old behind bars let alone convict him...if these 2 guys were a few feet apart then they should have reacted much quicker...something stinks here...and it isn't me...
